The United Nations Joint Human Rights Office (UNJHRO) has received credible information that there are at least 13 mass graves in and around El Jenaina, a town in Sudan’s vast Darfur region, the outgoing UN High Commissioner to the war-torn country said yesterday. .
According to this information, victims of attacks by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Arab militias allied with them have been buried there, Volker Pertes told the Security Council Thursday.
The UN mission and other international alert agencies “are gathering evidence of these violations and recall that, if verified, they constitute war crimes,” added Mr. Pertes, who earlier informed the SA that he had submitted his resignation.
Violence seen as ethnically and tribally motivated in El Jenaina, West Darfur, not far from the border with Chad, has escalated rapidly since a power struggle between Sudan’s army and paramilitaries broke out in mid-April.
